Day 64

          I feel like all I do these days is work and sleep. That I have lost all sense of who I am. That I have lost all sense of purpose. Yet, I feel like the old saying is true. It is always darkest before the dawn. I plan to live a full and happy life, so this is only the darkness before the dawn. I feel like if I have faith and continue forward that I will soon leave this darkness behind. I don't really know where I got this hope from...do all people have it? Is it just a select few? Who are we that we never lose hope. I have been discouraged several times, but I have never given up hop. I have always found a way to move forward, even when life has brought me to my knees. What is it that gives me hope? Or is it hope at all? What if it is sheer stubbornness ..I wouldn't put it past me. Either way, I must continue.

Lesson:

It doesn't really matter why you continue, just as long as you do.

Day 62

          Our bodies speak to us, they let us know when we are healthy and they let us know when we are ill. If we listen to our bodies, we can live much healthier lives. For example, I am allergic to some of the preservatives that companies put in food. That is my body's way of telling me that those preservatives are bad for me. So, when I was feeling under the weather today, I allowed my boss to send me home early so that I could rest. There has been a very adept virus going around and in order to help my body fight it off I must give my body what it needs to fight it off. That includes probiotics, vitamin C, and lots and lost of sleep.  When I was younger I just powered through, but as I've gotten older I've realized we've only got one body, so we should take care of the one we have. I like how that lesson has worked its way into the rest of my life. I care for what I own that way I save money. Now all I have to do is get better. Good night. :)

Lesson:

You've only got one body, care for it as such.
